NEW YORK, July 31 /PRNewswire/ -- The Lymphoma Research Foundation (LRF) takes this opportunity to thank the many "employees" of the 48 branches of Dunder Mifflin Infinity (DMI) for selecting LRF as the charity their branch will support during the DMI's "Summer Splash - United Way Fundraiser."

Under the direction from their corporate headquarters - NBC.com - each DMI employee had to select one charity from a corporate-approved list of nine for their DMI branch to support. Voting started on July 10th and ended on July 17th. Out of the 163 DMI branches, 48 selected the Lymphoma Research Foundation.

"On behalf of everyone at LRF, I want to thank the employees of those 48 branches for selecting our organization," commented Suzanne Bliss, LRF's President. "We wholeheartedly welcome them to the vast network of people fighting lymphoma."

In addition to providing DMI branches with a way to support community needs, the "Summer Splash - United Way Fundraiser" is also a competition. After the campaign ends on Thursday, August 28, 2008 - 3PM ET / 12 PM PT and the results are tallied, the DMI branch that raised the most will be crowned The Most Philanthropic of all Dunder Mifflin Infinity.
